GSoC 2011 - Go code

Hi folks!

Last week the Google Summer of Code 2011, coding period, started. And, during this week, I worked on a feature to integrate the new plugin architecture with the phpPgAdmin (PPA) tabs. I also review the toplinks code, creating a simple page to demonstrate the plugin Example working. If you do not know what are tabs or toplinks in the phpPgAdmin, take a look at the following image:

Right now I am working on the integration between the Trail (see above) and the new plugin architecture. The logic of this part is not that much different from the tabs.

I think the basic structure is going well, and the development is in the schedule. Anyway my mentors has been reviewing my code, and doing some constructive suggestions about it. Some of the comments have been discussed during this week among me, my mentors and other PPA developers, as Mr. Robert Treat. I thank the attention that my mentors, and other developers as well, are giving to this project, together we will achieve successfully results :D

That's all for today, see you soon!

GSoC 2011 - Bonding period

Hello people

The GSoC 2011 has begun. Until May 22 is the bonding period. In this time, the students should contact their organizations and mentors to talk about their projects.

This year I will have two mentors to help me accomplish the project, Mr. Jehan and Mr. Andreas. They are helping me a lot. Jehan teach me how use the GitHub, and integrate it with our IRC channel (irc.freenode.net #phppgadmin). Every time I push something to my phppgadmin fork, the GitHub send a message by IRC with informations about it. I liked a lot this feature.

According to my activities, the first task is to drop the current plugin architecture. It is deprecated, and the only ppa plugin has a lot of intrusive code inside phppgadmin. Jehan teach me how use branches with GIT, I have already created a branch and pushed it to my phppgadmin fork. When Jehan and Andreas validate my patch, I will merge it with my main line of work. And after, I will pull to main phppgadmin project.

Now I am working on the basic plugin structure. I hope to finish it on time, and start working on other subjects :-)

That's it for now people, see you soon...
